CloudKit Query works on Xcode release build, not on TestFlight

Question

Here's my problem: my app fetches records from CloudKit fine when connected to Xcode on my phone (using a Release scheme), but when I release it on TestFlight, it won't fetch the records.

Here's my fetching function:

func allprevFacts(date: String, olddate: Int){
        act.startAnimating()
        let container = CKContainer.defaultContainer()
        let publicDB = container.publicCloudDatabase
        //let factPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "recordID = %@", CKRecordID(recordName: date))
        let factPredicate = NSPredicate(format: "date <= %@", NSDate())
        let query = CKQuery(recordType: "BirdFacts", predicate: factPredicate)
        publicDB.performQuery(query, inZoneWithID: nil) { (results, error) -> Void in
            if error != nil {
                print(error)
            }
            else {
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()){
                    //print(results)
                    var count = 0
                    var sortedresults = [Int]()
                    for result in results! {
                        var b = result.valueForKey("sortingDate") as! Int
                        sortedresults.append(b)
                    }
                    print(sortedresults)
                    while count < sortedresults.count {
                        if sortedresults[count] <= olddate {
                            sortedresults.removeAtIndex(count)
                        }
                        else {
                            count = count + 1
                        }
                    }
                    print(sortedresults)
                    while sortedresults.count > 0 {
                        var d: Int = 0
                        let a = sortedresults[sortedresults.endIndex-1]
                        print(a)
                        while d < sortedresults.count{
                            if sortedresults[d] == a {
                                sortedresults.removeAtIndex(d)
                                self.birdFacts.append(results![d])
                                self.tableFacts.reloadData()
                                self.tableFacts.hidden = false
                            }
                            d = d + 1
                            print(d)
                        }
                    }
                    self.saveFacts()
                    print("saving bird facts")
                    self.tableFacts.hidden = false
                }
            }
        }
        act.stopAnimating()
    }

Here's the iPhone console output when I launch the app (and it should run the CloudKit query):

I can't make head or tails of the error code, does anyone have some suggestions on what might be going wrong?

Answer 1

When you distribute an app with TestFlight, that app will use the production container. Before you can use that app, you have to move your container into production. You can do that from the CloudKit dashboard.

Select your container. Click in the menu on 'Deployment'. Then Click on the button 'Deploy to production' and follow the instructions.
